We have had some heavy rains and the road seems to have held up pretty well on the Simi Valley flyers half (the part after the gate). We have a few plans for the field this year. We would like to finish the large aircraft run up areas with pavers, work on the road with drainage to prevent rutting, pavers for the pilots boxes, and some updates need to be made to the bylaws. Just a reminder please remember to register with the FAA. If you complete before January 19th they will refund you the $5.00 registration fee. Here is the website: https:// www.faa.gov/uas/registration/. They also have an app for Apple and Android (B4UFLY). Here is the information about the application https://www.faa.gov/uas/b4ufly/. Remember to bring your show and tell to the general meeting January 22nd at 7:30pm See you at the field, Todd 1
